Turn up the heat: Xuses showcases Ken Master’s evolution through various Street Fighter titles

Last fall, XusesGB released a series of videos focusing on the evolution of certain Street Fighter characters throughout various games. Now, he has returned to this series with another evolution video, this time featuring series deuteragonist Ken Masters.

Starting out simply as a palette/head swap of Ryu in the early games, Ken has slowly but surely evolved into his own character. His Street Fighter V incarnation may be his most unique yet, however this only builds on a history of different incarnations of Ken all adding his own fiery spin on the “shoto” moveset.

Yahoo! Esport’s fighting game journalist Michael Martin interviewed by “People Playing Games” podcast

There’s no quick path to victory–in fighting games, or in life. I think it’s safe to say Yahoo! Esport’s journalist Michael Martin knows this well. Here, he’s sat down with the “People Playing Games” podcast and shares his long path from gamer, to freelance writer, to full time employee on the staff of IGN and Yahoo!

In the nearly hour-long chat, he covers a wide range of topics: Everything from his favorite games, to juggling his gaming job with his family life, to the harsh realities of being in the games media industry. While surely these subjects have been covered before, Michael is an example of someone from within our community carving out a path for himself based purely on his love of the genre. It’s a worthy listen for anyone that wants to do the same.
